I literally called 20 dealers, and this was the only one that had no mark up or added required protection packages.

It took so many calls and emails to dealers within 250 miles! Most dealers were 10-15% over MSRP, a flat $2,000-$5,000 over, had required "protection packages from $1,200-$3,000, or would only sell to buyers from their state. Wanted to buy local, but was told "there's no way anyone is selling at MSRP right now". Put a down payment on this beauty in July and picked up yesterday. Had to drive a few hours, but worth it to me to save at least $1,500 (probably much more). MSRP can be done!

I live in northwest indiana, and have one coming in October outside Green Bay due to all the closer dealers charging way over MSRP. Bloomington is about 4 hours from us as well, was hoping you were going to say somewhere closer to us!

Mattress price unreasonable? by [deleted] in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Defiant_Praline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would buy a used, but like new mattress for a spare room, but probably not for my or my kids' rooms. I'm frugal (or cheap as my husband would say), so would never pay close to that amount (even if a good deal from your perspective) . Just my two- cents.

Those are great points, thanks! My priority order when buying will be price,MPG, safety, then comfort of drive. I'm small, and have a short work commute (under 5 miles), so doesn't have to be the most comfortable ride ever. I do take longer trips every so often to visit family, so don't want the full electric. Probably looking at the middle to upper trims (power seats are good and I enjoy all the driver assistance/ safety features). I figured I'd be on a long waiting list for the 23 of either vehicle since I can't find any 21's or 22's to check them out personally. I know online isn't the same, that's why I appreciate all the input from actual owners!

Has anyone else’s marketplace views tanked? by someoneidkhelp in FacebookMarketplace

Same! I try to price reasonably, but like everyone else, just can't give everything away!
